Every day I am reminded of the many ways people choose to serve. I feel so grateful to have stumbled across many organizations, corporations, for-profit businesses, and individuals who are dedicated to serving and supporting the missions of nonprofit organizations - even if they themselves don’t work for or run one.
That’s how I felt when I connected with Robyn Mays of Digital Butter, a South African marketing agency. She and co-founder Richard Eltringham are dedicated to advancing the missions of nonprofits and I feel so fortunate to share with you all a great resource they are offering for our nonprofit community.
Liz: Let’s start in traditional Smile Project fashion. Give me a “Happiness is.”
Robyn: "Happiness is.. watching all our work come together for good by growing businesses or growing nonprofits!
Liz: Tell me about Digital Butter.
Robyn: We are a digital marketing agency based in South Africa focusing on helping businesses and nonprofits find, retain and engage clients online so they can grow.
If you are like most small to medium-sized business owners today, you are working overtime to run your company and grow your revenue. You work hard to provide the best services for your customers every day, but you struggle to get the word out. You can’t hire for every skill, so you end up wearing multiple hats. You’re so busy that you’re constantly putting out fires instead of building strategies to gain new clients and increase revenue. You’re so close to your work, that you find it hard to explain in a compelling way — and you know your lack of clarity is costing you money.
